The location of the root of the local directory tree depends on the operating system and the latex distribution. On the following slides, you can read the instructions for some common setups. When you download the theme, the four theme files are embedded in a directory structure (in the global folder) ready to be copied directly to the root of your local directory tree. On the following slides, we refer to this directory structure as <dirstruct>. Note that some parts of the directory may already exist if you have installed other packages in your local latex directory tree. If this is the case, you simply merge <dirstruct> with your existing setup. Installation GNU/Linux The AAU Sidebar Beamer Theme Jesper Kjær Nielsen Introduction License Installation GNU/Linux 6 Ubuntu with TeX Live Microsoft Windows 1.

Beamer (>= v. 3.10) supports various aspect ratios of the slides. According to section 8.3 on page 77 of the Beamer user guide v. 3.10, you can write \documentclass[aspectratio=1610]{beamer} to get slides with an aspect ratio of 16:10. You can also use 169, 149, 54, 43 (default), and 32 to get other aspect ratios.
